3. Can watch YOUR car being built (this I find hard to believe, that ta a certain date, with weeks of notice it can be so accurately timed (but that's just me)
4. The Horseshoe Casino wants to provide a 2-3 day comp with a fly-in drive home
5. Tis might be new news, on May 5th EM is meeting w/ IIHS Insurance Co's want to see/drive to help them establish rates.
6.W/ the sunroof option, there will be enough room for a luggage rack

Well here I am at Barrett Jackson West Palm Beach at 7:21 in the evening. One of the few booths that are closed is the Elio Motors booth. It is very disappointing to come out here to see and sit in the car and find that the representatives must have something better to do. How can they make the car if they can't even man a booth

they were already open when RUCRAYZE got there at 8:30 AM .... I no clue what their hours were but if they left at 7PM they would have put in a long day

Many more people were here Friday night vs first thing Friday morning. Other vendor booths were opened way later. Perhaps that is why they have product and are selling stuff and Elio is still begging for funding?

This is the first entry in this thread!
Try reading rather than blaming others.
Dates and hours are also posted in the ELIO MOTORS web site

Or perhaps YOU should look at the post I made on page 1 of this thread and the answer I got 53 minutes later. In any event it seems dumb to leave a show such as this hours before closing and exactly when most of a day's attendance will happen. Makes me question other decisions EM makes. Did they leave the NY auto show early too?

 

[Florida Guy]

By staying open at a show that you are already attending you get many more exposures for almost NO COST. Kinda like free advertising as compared to what they are doing.To amplify the problem if you are going to chose which hours to man the booth you would naturally think that you should be there when the most people will be walking by to minimize your cost per exposure. And EM is trying to save money on production costs and they can't understand these simple concepts? Seems to me there is little chance of them ever putting out a car for sale for real. Anyone else wanna defend these short sighted decisions?

lets see now, the group that has generated 40,000+ reservations (most within the last year or so) doesn't know what its doing .... they run their company they way they see fit .... if you have a company, you run it as you see fit .... if you don't like the way they do business, it might be wise to find someone else to do business with ... if you really want answers as to how they set their schedule, you might want to raise the issue with folks who work with the company .... to do so, you might try their website of Facebook

I am fully aware of all my options of where to post comments about the performance of the company. It is not productive for you to explain to me where I can do postings.So just as you have explained Elio motors is free to make whatever business decisions it choses, I am free to post to whatever forum I think is most appropriate. I really don't need your help in making that decision. I also do not need your help in letting me know what firms I should do business with, I am fully aware of my options. You sure do seem to have a firm grasp on the obvious, JEBar. Speaking as one you are trying specifically to advise, it is unnecessary and well worth ignoring.

The reps have been on the road now for a long time, from show to show to show dealing with people with attitudes like you display here would soon lead to fatigue, and health problems if hours spent at the shows and on the road were not controlled to allow time for rest/relaxation and just to unwind.
